Force B43xx to use Bluetooth.
Posted: Sun Mar 31, 2019 1:29 am
Hey Pips I have 2 wifi cards.
I know BCM4312 has Bluetooth, just kicked bcmwl-kernel-source and firmware-b43-installer out of the game.
As you see it uses wl now.
I have done it as I read on net that wl will utilize Bluetooth.
I want to use Qualcomm Atheros as WiFi.
But this seems to have no use
How to force it to be a Bluetooth Card ???
